Windows 7: Desktop Slideshow Theme stopped switching images

That basically says it all. When I installed Win7 Home Premium 32 bit I installed some desktop themes with images that switched. Cool. After a while I downloaded some picktures and created my own. I have them set to switch every 15 minutes. THe past few weeks, I noticed that they were no longer switching. I can manually right click the desktop and 'bump' it to go to the next image, but it will no longer switch on it's own. Any suggestions?

Type edit power plan in the Start Search box, and then click Edit power plan.
Click Change advanced power settings.
Desktop Background Settings > Slideshow > Make sure it's set to "Available"
If that was your problem, it should be working now.

If you are unable to change or display the wallpaper of your Windows 7 or Vista desktop, try this :

Open Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the computer easier to see.
Ensure that Remove background images (where available) is unchecked.

Save, Apply, Exit.

This should help !
If it doesnt, try this:

Run regedit and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

Then right click on Policies > New > KEY > name it as “ActiveDesktop”.

Next in RHS, rt click > New > DWORD > name it as “NoChangingWallPaper” .

The DWORD value 1 will restrict change in desktop wallpaper. To allow change give it value as 0.
Reboot.
